I did this, and to start with it didn't work any better (still died on
Errno_pm.PL so I went into that directory, re-ran perl Makefile.PL,
edited the Makefile manually to stick in -traditional-cpp as a flag
and it seems to have worked fine.
Doing a general make test has me failing 5 tests total. (Can't
remember them all, but I do know that pwent and sprintf were two).
Thanks for your help, at least I'm ~98% testing ok!
